This blog chronicles my life as I try to balance healthy lifestyle habits with my husband's penchant for pizza rolls and my daughter's desire to watch iCarly 8 hours a day. It contains a mostly humorous, kind, and somewhat spiritual look at everyday life and the people who live it.

Grace #13 The Internet

I don't care whether the internet was created by Al Gore or an MIT thinktank, I think it is the greatest invention of my lifetime. I use the internet daily to find out everything from ways to use baking soda to finding a home. I know there are many issues with internet safety, and as my 10-yr-old gets more adventurous online these things loom larger on my horizon, but I think that used properly, the advantages of the internet far outweigh the disadvantages.

I have recently joined Facebook. I initially joined because a friend in Cincinnati asked me to join so we could catch up on each other's lives without having to schedule phone calls. I don't do very much on Facebook, but I really like the idea that I can find people, if I choose to do so. Friends, distant relatives, estranged family members, old classmates, they're all out there waiting to be found, reconnected with, and remembered.

And the information available on every subject and from every source! Medical problems, recipes, household tips, decorating ideas, online purchasing, and a billion other things: all at the touch of my fingertips whilst I sit comfortably in the privacy of my own home.

Welcome

Welcome to The Eye of the Beholder, it's nice to have you reading. I have so named this blog because like everything else in life, good blogs can only be judged so by the people who read them. I hope you enjoy what I've written, learn something, laugh a lot, and share my blog with someone who might be interested. Enjoy! Beth

About Me

My name is Beth and I am a stay-at-home Mom. I have a great husband, Steve, and a wonderful daughter. I also have great friends one of whom, named Deb, made me into the blogger that I aspire to be. Of Midwestern origin, I am a recent transplant to New England. I am interested in exercise, healthy eating, natural products, and York Peppermint Patties. These are my thoughts, random and somewhat twisted, but all my own.
